        Distribution to Exiting Shareholders under the Cash Exit Option        

Pursuant to the Tender Offer, the Board is pleased to announce that the Tender
Pool is close to being realised in full. It is not therefore proposed to make
the interim distribution to exiting shareholders which was expected to be made

Final payment to Shareholders under the Cash Exit Option of the Tender Offer,
together with any interest accruing thereon, is expected to be made to Exiting
Shareholders on or by Tuesday, 27 July 2010.

Forms of payment for Exiting Shareholders are as follows:

  * Exiting Shareholders who held Shares in uncertificated form in CREST will
    be paid the consideration through CREST on or by 27 July 2010 in favour of
    the Exiting Shareholders' payment bank in accordance with the CREST payment
    arrangement.
   
  * Exiting Shareholders who held Shares in certificated form will receive a
    cheque for the consideration from the Registrars by first class post to the
    registered address of the Exiting Shareholder or, in the case of joint
    holders, the registered address of the first named holder. Cheques are
    expected to be posted on or by 27 July 2010.
   
In accordance with the terms of the Tender Offer the Company has repurchased a
total of 5,675,770 Ordinary Shares pursuant to the In Specie Distribution
Option. A further 10,132,913 Ordinary Shares will be repurchased under the Cash

It is proposed to cancel the 7,400,000 Ordinary Shares currently held in
treasury and replace these with 7,400,000 of the 15,808,683 Ordinary Shares
that will in due course have been repurchased as a result of the Tender Offer.
The remaining 8,408,683 Ordinary Shares repurchased under the Tender Offer will
also be cancelled

Following completion of the Tender Offer the number of Ordinary Shares that the
Company will have in issue, less the total number of Ordinary Shares held by
the Company in Treasury, is 58,355,792.

A further announcement advising of the Tender Price per Cash Exit Share will be
made in due course.
